Helmeted Guineafowl

Numida meleagris

Description:

I didn't find the scientific name, people call it here "catraio". It repeats a loud sound everytime, something like "to'frako, to'frako, to'frako"

Notes:

There are superstitions in the countryside that say it's not good to grow them as a pet because they believe they would have bad luck, so they grow them free.
